#I’m too old for fandoms or something

[nightgoodomens]

I can’t stay on twitter for more than a few seconds because everyone has an obsession with Crowley basically being Aziraphale’s dog and fucking hell give my dude some dignity. Being devoted to someone because you adore them doesn’t make you a dog. He’s the one who sees things for what they are and sorts shit out and people just… he’s nothing without the angel eh.

Urgh.

#personal ramblings #I have issues with some of the words people use to refer to them #idk like #I’m too old for fandoms or something #is this how kids talk now #heck

[sorchathered]

Look yall I’m just gonna be transparent here.

I have zero patience for cliques and childish behavior. I just want to fangirl with people who love the same shit I do and write smutty little stories. If that’s your vibe that’s awesome we can totally be friends. If you are the type to talk shit about people just because you have nothing better to do or because you are jealous of someone else I need you to gtfo of my space, I am halfway through my thirties and I’ve done some living, childish drama is something that stays in my past and I won’t let it mar my present or future.

Some of yall need to grow up. Touch grass. Go buy a vibrator to release all that bs you clearly have built up.

✌️

#I’m too old for childish bs #this is supposed to be fun #if it stops being fun I’m out #eff this shit #fanfiction is supposed to be fun #let me have something fun in my life please #people are going to leave the fandom in droves if this keeps up

[lovelyjasmari]

Just a daily reminder: objectively pointing out a characters flaws/expressing dislike of them in a civil manner is NOT the same as attacking ppl who like said character.

#no this isn’t directed towards anyone in particular #yes this is abt something I saw on the bird app #maybe im just built different but I fully welcome civil discussion abt my favs and their flaws #or maybe I’m just old and have been in fandom spaces for too long lol #shut up jas

I didn’t create tedmort.

I want to make that 100000% clear. I didn’t come up with it, I didn’t write the first fic or draw the first art. I didn’t even come up with the damn ship name! I need all of you to understand something because even if you think it’s not important for me to be clear about this, it really is to me, in my opinion.

I don’t credit tedmort as my ship. It doesn’t belong solely to me: y’all can write it, draw it, headcanon it — it’s not mine and never was! I don’t own it and won’t ever claim that I do. I will never ever gatekeep tedmort because they’re so precious to me and I want all of you to love them and cherish them as much as I do.

Warning: Long post ahead but it’s my feelings and I really hope you all take the time out to read this.

When I called myself the tedmort ship captain, it wasn’t because I was claiming the ship as MY rarepair. It’s me saying listen, I wrote a lot of tedmort and the tags here on tumblr and on ao3 are filled with me screaming into the void about this ship. I am the person standing on the deck of the ship that is the USS Tedmort, if you will, and hyping it up! Calling all of you from the shore to come on, hop aboard, and sail with me, not for me.

I do want to be the captain of the ship, but not in an “I own this!” sort of way, but in a “come, join me!” way. I want to set up the refershment table of headcanons and tell everyone joining up on our ship to “take a headcanon and leave one of your own!” and to joke and laugh over the angst we’ve collectively put our poor middle aged men through. This is a collective and I am not in charge and don’t want to be.

At the end of the day, I do want to be known as the tedmort person. But I really want to be known as more of a guide. A person that anyone in fandom, new or old, feels comfortable with approaching because I want to share tedmort with every single one of you. I write this ship because I love it. I feel the passion that I haven’t in fandom for a long time for these two and I feel free to share it without judgement!

I just love Teddy and Mort, plain and simple. I’m gonna write whether anybody is reading it or not because I’m having fun. But I want you as a fandom to have fun too.

I don’t want anybody to ever feel like they can’t write a ship because it “belongs” to someone else. Because someone has claimed the ship as “theirs.” I know there will always be people like that, in every fandom and every corner of the internet and in every part of the real world - someone who stakes claim because they love something so much, alienating others even when they don’t do mean to. I love being known for tedmort, but other people deserve a chance in the spotlight for their tedmort fics as well.

So maybe this is me saying, I’ll be your guide to tedmort, if you’ll have me, but I will never make this ship out to be mine and mine alone. Tedmort is ours.

#tedmort #bob's burgers #caboose rant #it’s not really a rant but it’s something that’s been weighing heavily on my mind lately #and I hope nothing I said offends anybody because it wasn’t meant to be anything but me assuring all of you that I’m not in charge #I just want everybody to know that just because I’m the loudest doesn’t mean I’m the one who makes all the rules #oh and also a disclaimer!! there is no fandom drama I’m not making fandom drama #I’m just feeling really angsty about myself right now #but if you think there is a problem please just dm me I’m too damn old for the ship drama shit

In Shadow & Bone (Netflix) 2x3, Kaz intends to handle Inej’s injuries himself.

He knows the condition she’s in and he sends everyone else away. After having to listen to Pekka Rollins goad him about how he’s going to put her back in the menagerie, after he erupts on Wylan for his ‘history lesson’ about the plague, after Nina warns him that her healing might not be up to the job.

Jesper and Wylan set off for Pekka’s alleged glass factory, Kaz tries to brush Nina off but she would have none of it and he had to give her info so she would go to Hellgate.

Once alone, he goes right to the room where he thinks she’ll be, her name in his mouth, but she’d climbed out the window. Wraith’s gotta Wraith.

He knew what he was in for when he went in and expected to find her. Imagine if she’d stayed. I want that scene.

i miss being in my tmsidk era. what was i on back then. where did that girl go. come back ho why would you abandon me like this

#me getting writer’s block 4 chapters into my wip. hemming and hawing over my outline #weeping and wailing that it’s not funny or interesting enough #good grief. #i was so strong back then….. #actually tbh I’m sure it was just as hard writing has always been and will always be so so hard for me lol #agonizing. excruciating. it just feels more appropriate when you’re agonizing over a long dramatic AU vs something rly dumb and silly. hddjd #literally tho when I think abt how I wrote something that long I’m still flabbergasted. i don’t even READ fics that long. hdjddn #but MAN it was a good time. I miss it. I miss the fandom from those days too #I sound like such an old geezer rn lmao. the fandom just feels different now idk. smaller maybe. less active in a lot of ways. #it’s a little sad I guess. but there is still great stuff going on! #anyway. I sleep now #maybe when I wake up I’ll know how to write again🫶

Y8 Thoughts I Guess 🤔

I keep pacing the kitchen while repeating the same things in my head over and over again so here is my thought vomit. Long vent post incoming

• Really concerned about how likely it is that we’ll only see the Jimas interact with Kiryu one or two times in a similar manner to 6. It’ll feel even worse this time for me considering Kiryu has cancer. It’ll also be a grievance for me given something I’ve complained about a lot. How weird they are about Kiryu and Majima’s relationship. It feels like ever since the ending of 3, they haven’t allowed them much of any interaction while simultaneously making a point that they’re close to each other even with the distance and it throws me for a loop every time. It’s made even more frustrating that their social medias have no problem posting about them (especially from Majima’s angle) as though they’re an actual ship. Plus, recently sharing blatant Kazumaji art on stream. If they keep doing that after this game I’m going to catapult myself to the sun. Obviously, I never expected the ship to actually happen. All I want is for their bizzaro relationship to have some sort of proper conclusion, but I have zero hope of that. It just makes no sense to keep making them out to be besties of some sort and then not allowing any follow through on that. Hell, they were weird in Ishin, too. It’s just SUCH a strange thing to do so often.

•At this point, it feels like the Jimas are only together because no one knows what else to do with them so they just end up together for years and years. My issue here is that it puts all of them on the back burner even though there’s still stuff missing about them. Like the biggest one being that we never get to see the real Daigo. They tell us about him a lot, but we never get to see him. RGGO of course bridges this gap. It’s just disappointing to know that’ll only ever exist there.

•If Mine is back (Yokoyama talked like the only thing stopping him from that was his voice actor), would he interact with Daigo? He was such a core part of his character, and it’d be interesting if they did see each other again. I would of course like it if Mine got to tell Daigo that he loved him straight to his face even though I’m more than certain they’d never do that.

•The Ichiban and Saeko proposal and all that still has me on edge. I do N O T know what all that’s about. Yokoyama claimed the game isn’t romantic, but he’s been on a kick lately with saying one thing and the exact opposite happening so I’m feeling pretty hesitant to believe him. I admittedly have a very hard time with media that contains a prominent pairing that I do not care about, but the plot keeps pushing in my face. Like with the second Kiryu saga game. To expand on Ichiban and Saeko, I mean that in 7, there’s nothing to show they have anything romantically going on despite the player’s ability to choose to date her or any other lady. I made sure to date nobody in my playthrough since I don’t care about that kind of stuff personally. They do, however, keep teasing Saeko and Nanba in a subtle way that really surprised me. I did find it interesting since visually they’re a really unexpected pairing and a possible romance that doesn’t involve the lead character seems pretty rare. RGG also typically isn’t that good at writing romantic notes so it was another surprise for me. All in all, this is just a personal issue I have pretty often with romance in media.

I know the game is still months away, and I’m not jumping to any conclusions. Just voicing a few concerns and one thing that’s sort of me hoping for something. It’s going to be a long wait to have all my questions answered 💀

#yakuza #ryu ga gotoku #like am I crazy for thinking Kiryu should interact just a little bit more with characters from his old saga #it’s also a frustrating ordeal that Majima gets crazy merch and Ugaki is around a lot #but then Majima’s appearances deminish so much it starts to feel like fan service when he does appear #im not asking for him to have a major big time role or anything like some people want #i might be a shipper but romantic media might be my least favorite thing ever #I don’t know if I missed something in the trailer or what but im still so cautious about that element in 8 #anyway I was also feeling hesitant about sharing this and will probably delete it later #just wanted to share a few of my thoughts #nothing to say about Gaiden #oh my god typing on mobile for too long is a disaster #the keyboard lags and disappears #repeatedly after a certain amount of time #this shit sucks #also I’m always hesitant to share ‘hot takes’ and the sort given the type of behavior I’ve received before in fandoms #these aren’t even remotely hot takes and just general thoughts but sometimes life makes you shut up

[fuck-kirk]

I’m in the middle of writing a long ass Danny Phantom fanfic and it’s kinda crazy bc for one I haven’t written a fanfic in almost 7 years, and for two I entered this fandom when I was literally TWELVE how am I still into it…my brain doesn’t get rid of fixations so easily I guess

#mott txt #it’s a rewrite of one I started when I was like 15. it gif good traction on ff.net back in the day #and my fav authors were following it and it was too much pressure for poor lil 15 yr old me #and the story was too involved for me to do properly back then #but I’ve wanted to redo it and finish it for SO LONG #danny phantom #it’s a story about Danny and vlad being stranded on a deserted island together without their powers #basically a long ass character analysis and Vlad redemption #it’s already twice as long as the original and I’m not even half way thru re-writing what I had #I used to be so involved in my fandoms and churn out so much content. but ever since college I’ve mostly become a spectator #which is fine bc I create a lot of my own original art in ceramics but something abt providing in a fandom and receiving feed back… #I want that again. it’s so fun #also this story has been nagging in my brain for YEARS #it’s already like 12-15k words. I won’t start posting it till it’s done bc I have a bad track record with abandoning fics #I also want to get back into writing in general bc I have ideas for novels I’d like to explore #sorry I’m like doing a diary entry in the tags. but that that’s new or anything

[museenkuss]

Spn blogs in my recs and they WILL NOT LEAVE.

#they’re even on my main blog now #at least for me #and like yeah I get it blood and rot and family and whatever #I think I’m getting my period soon because it usually doesn’t annoy me like this but GOD #I don’t WANT these here. #but tbh I just don’t like the fandom. it’s all very clique-y and I am so so lonely #like genuinely I haven’t felt good about a single thing I posted for that in way too long #I like WRITING but posting?? in that fandom? it’s terrible. I hate it #& I’ve taken to writing out all my frustration and anger and grief in a separate doc to be deleted before posting the main work #which is fucking. just. it’s bad. I’ve never had to do that for ANY fandom I wrote for. #and I geeeeeet that it’s because it’s such a big fandom so people know each other and it’s not like my small communities where you #parallel play in peace. but I don’t like it. it’s deeply uncomfortable and isolating and I’m so sick of it #but I also like the writing I do so I try to just stay in my niche and not look at anyone else #I think I unfollowed every fandom blog save for two? three? so I could be alone instead of lonely #but it still washes over me whenever I post something. #oh an! sometimes I’m tempted to just do something super mass appealing so they’ll like me but that just makes me feel worse #I’ve been tempted to delete my blog so many times because I lost my friends from the old fandoms and this one is the poorest substitute #but I also feel like that won’t make me happier either. I wish I’d just never started engaging w that show tbh #okay done. just. I’m going through it

Just watched an entire video explaining how fucked up ages are in sonic. You’re telling me he’s been 15yo for years even though he had a birthday party in one of the games?? You’re telling me these cartoon talking animals go through so much shit (torture, highly dangerous battles, ptsd, a train trying to kill them) and most of team sonic aren’t even 18?! Who is looking after these kids???

#kitty screams #sonic team #forgive me if I got this wrong I’m very new to the fandom #But what the fuck #tails talks way too well for an 8 year old #Where are child protective services #The only explanation I can come to is that mobian age works differently to humans? #Like dog years or something?? 😭😭 #genuinely so concerned and clueless #WHO IS LETTING A 15YO SAVE THE WORLD?!

Kid’s TV peaked at Phineas and Ferb tbh

Edit. Long tags. I’m the oldest of 4 and worked with kids briefly at an internship so I’m well versed in kids tv, so I ranked them in the tags. We don’t like pj masks here. This is an anti pj masks blog.

#my sisters like it. I watch with them idgaf #it’s actually hilarious #very good for sick days where you need something comforting and silly #<<<of which I have many #tbh being the oldest isn’t always great but at least I don’t mind kid’s shoes #shows* #and that’s good because I have to watch a lot of them #I was also a kindergarten music teacher aide for a bit so I’m rather well versed in them. #you either learn to watch them with the kiddos or you’re miserable #I should rank them tbh #phineas and ferb. top tier. #pj masks lowest tier. hated it and actively encouraged the twins to not watch it #octonauts. pretty high. I was too old for it when it came out but I would have loved it as a kid #ATLA. top tier. barely a kids show. only by technicality tbh #I mean not barely a kids show. just a very well done one #spirit: riding free. upper tier but not fully top #I paid attention to it when they watched it but it was eh after season 2 #mlp. ngl I don’t mind it. it was an early teens fandom of mine but not soemthing I’d choose to watch. #shimmer and shine. middle tier. not great but not annoying. theme song gets stuck in my head. #Sofia the first. lower tier. didn’t mind it at first but Sofia kind of annoys me ngl #that one with the trucks. eh #paw patrol. copaganda jokes aside I don’t hate it but won’t watch it with them. or pay attention to it #Pokémon. I mean I love it so top tier but also depends on the season #like objectively ag has its issues and probs isn’t top tier but idc. #top tier bc of bandana girl and rose boy and their weird cactus friend enemy person #ash is there too I guess /j

Why do fans of things be so ready to ship child characters with each other like man.

#I don’t watch sxf but why all the ship art of the little girl and that boy like why would you care about ‘romance’ between toddlers or #whatever they are #I never even cared for the stuff with like gon and killua either if I’m being real they look about 10 it’s like. okay #idk they keep aging up the little girl and that boy to draw certain types of art of them too 🚶🏾‍♀️ #rambling #the killua gon stuff is another thing tho but I just never cared for it personally nothing against those who do #it’s just not for me #that little girl on the other hand :/ #someone will probably go ‘but you like naruto-‘ #and I’m like man #I only got into shipping stuff after I got into jojo and even then it’s not like I’ve ever been too crazy over about it either #sns is in their own league they are sentient #and have a life of their own beyond shipping and fandom or whatever it’s something that I can’t even touch lol #it’s just more of a ‘yeah they gay fr fr keep scrolling’ and now look at them #old af and balding and still crazy about each other I can’t say anything about them but I’m getting off topic #like the gist of my rambling is that shipping child characters with each other and being super insane about it is odd to me that’s all #it’s just a personal thing #they should be coloring fire trucks on their mama’s walls not thinking about wanting to kiss and date when they’re little ass kids in middle #school #why do ppl want to ship literally anything and everything together I hope I don’t sound weird for saying this

[saltyfilmmajor]

Accidentally got sucked back into phineas and ferb I can feel it in my bones I won’t be normal about it

#nancy says some stuff #It’s like I’m back in middle school #and I’m still getting made fun of about it whoops #well fuck u this show was good #I think I’m too old for the fandom however I went on the ao3 and it was either really fucked up shit #or stuff imported from ffn that I most definitely did read #i should write something #i need w break from writing about middle aged men sucking each other off

[perfectmanisperfect]

i’m gonna rant on here cause no one will see it but some people istg. like sure i’ve been reading fanfiction for years and i just don’t understand the way some people react to it. like if something happens that you don’t like or makes you upset you have full autonomy to STOP READING IT. i don’t get going onto another app and just complaining about someone’s work. like most likely it was in the tags and even if something isn’t tagged which yes sucks you can still stop reading. like it’s fictional characters and people can interpret them however they want. they don’t belong to anyone and that’s the point of fanfic it’s their choice to write them that way. people who do this make people less likely to share work and worried about being dragged down. if you don’t see them that way great, find a new fic and move on. i couldn’t tell you how many times i’ve stopped a fic cause i didn’t like something but i can tell you i’ve never told someone their work is wrong or sent hate or gone on some other platform and started a hate train. sorry i just hate that so many people get this treatment and don’t feel comfortable sharing their writing. cause yes fanfic is not a job and no one is obligated to write it so please can people just silently walk away instead of bringing people down. and i know there’s complications to this argument cause some fanfic is messed up but in this case it was literally just someone disliking a characters action and i’m like there’s plenty of other fics where this isn’t the case and people write characters doing dark and fucked up shut all the time.

#i’m just ugh #can people be normal #stop complaining over something so inconsequential #fanfic #fanfiction #ao3 #can you guess what fandom this is #cause they’re getting toxic #and i’m too old to be seeing this shit #been seeing it for years #i’ll tell you the fandom #marauders #stop being toxic
